Brace Hemmelgarn/Getty ImagesThe Toronto Blue Jays won't promote top prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to the majors this season Shohei Ohtani Jersey , and given how he has performed, the Major League Baseball Players Association is not happy about the decision.The union issued a statement, per SportsNet's Shi Davidi, regarding Guerrero's minor league status even as the rosters expanded when the calendar flipped to September:"The union's position on service-time manipulation is clear, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and other great young talents around baseball have earned the right to play on the field for a major-league team. The decision to not to bring him up is a business decision, not a baseball decision. It's bad for the Blue Jays, it's bad for fans, it's bad for players and it's bad for the industry."That comes one day afterBlue Jays president Mark Shapiro went onSiriusXM's MLB Network Radio and denied that the organization was trying to manipulate the system:MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM MLBNetworkRadioWe asked #BlueJays Mark Shapiro why Vlad Guerrero Jr. was not a September call-up. klUEiPdt6SShapiro said (h/tESPN.com):"It has nothing to do with business. It has nothing to do with anything other than we think the best thing for him developmentally is to go play in Arizona (in the fall league there) and continue to develop.We think that when he gets here, which would obviously not preclude him from making the team out of spring training next year, which would be evidence of that fact Brandon Phillips Jersey , we think he's got a chance to be an impact player."Keeping Guerrero in the minors prevents him from accruing service time, thus allowing Toronto to maintain longer control of him. And considering the team sits at 63-77 and well out of the playoff picture, it may not be in the best interest of the club to start his clock in a lost season.On the other hand, it's tough for the organization to claim the prospect isn't ready for The Show. The 19-year-old Guerrero鈥攖he son of Hall of Fame outfielder Vladimir Guerrero鈥攈it .381/.437/.636 with 20 home runs, 29 doubles, one triple and 78 RBI across four minor league levels this season.Meanwhile, 2015 American League MVP Josh Donaldson made just 26 appearances at the hot corner in Toronto this season before being dealt to the Cleveland Indians last month. Between the injury and the trade, it appeared there could be a chance for Guerrero to get his feet wet this year鈥攂ut that won't happen.Guerrero is hardly the only top prospect to have service time possibly factor into his call-up. The players association field a grievance on Kris Bryant's behalf against the Chicago Cubs in 2015鈥攁 case that is still pending.Toronto may gain an extra year of control by manipulating the system, but it could wind up costing the club in the long run. If Guerrero lives up to the hype, he and his agent may not forget this drama when free agency arrives. Billie Weiss/Boston Red Sox/Getty ImagesBoston Red Sox manager Alex Cora called President Donald Trump's tweets about the death toll from Hurricane Maria "disrespectful" to his native Puerto Rico."To be tweeting about 3 Luis Valbuena Jersey ,000 people ... it's actually disrespectful for my country," Cora said Thursday, according to ESPN.com."We see it that way. I know probably he doesn't feel that way. And like I said, hey man, thank you for helping us. He went down there, he did what he did."I hate talking about politics and all that, but I think this is more than politics. This is about a country that really suffered, we still ... you see the hurricanes forming now. Everybody's panicking. It's not easy. One thing's for sure, and I told (the media) before, one thing I'm proud http://www.angelsfanproshop.com/authentic-chris-young-jersey , we're standing up on our own two feet. Like, do we need help? Yeah, we do. We know that."On Thursday morning, Trump tweeted his belief that the reported death tolls from the storm were fabricated by Democrats "to make me look as bad as possible.""3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico," hewrote. "When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000...".....This was done by the Democrats in order to make me look as bad as possible when I was successfully raising Billions of Dollars to help rebuild Puerto Rico. If a person died for any reason Cam Bedrosian Jersey , like old age, just add them onto the list. Bad politics. I love Puerto Rico!"According to CNN.com'sBetsy KleinandMaegan Vazquez, the Puerto Rican governor "formally raised the death toll from Hurricane Maria to an estimated 2,975 from 64 following a study conducted by researchers at The George Washington University."George Washington University issued a statement Thursday standing by its findings: "Our results show that Hurricane Maria was a very deadly storm, one that affected the entire island but hit the poor and the elderly the hardest.We are confident that the number鈥?,975鈥攊s the most accurate and unbiased estimate of excess mortality to date."
